@grb This is a fantastic answer. It worked perfectly for me and has exactly the level of detail I was seeking. As an admin on another Discourse server, I am tickled when people submit posts of this caliber. Thank you!
As I review your post, I see that it’s really three separate topics:
-
Export your vault. This creates a local backup against the tiny possibility of error. And it’s a rational thing to do from time to time, even if you’re not monkeying around with backend encryption stuff…
-
(Important, but optional) Make sure the two-step login recovery is in place.
-
Actually changing the KDF iterations.
If you had the time/strength, would you consider creating three new topics from it?
That way, no one else will need to write “how to export a vault” again. They can simply refer to your post.
Similarly, there would then be a Two-step Login Recovery post.
And finally, the “Low KDF Iterations” post gets short - it just says, do number 1, do number 2, then do these steps to increase the KDR iterations.
Thank you again!
PS I’m flagging the admins to ask that they close this thread since the answer is perfect.
